Transformative Social Protection The concept of Transformative Social Protection acknowledges that vulnerability is not only related to income, and seeks to complement cash transfers with components addressing further vulnerabilities. A cash transfer programme sensitive to risks and vulnerabilities faced by low income households can move beyond a protective function to be preventive, promotive, and transformative (by enhancing recipients’ confidence, self-esteem, and social relationships). These multiple possibilities are particularly important in low-income urban contexts, characterised by multiple vulnerabilities.
